At the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump predicted a big surge in Bitcoin price. They think Bitcoin will be between $150,000 and $175,000 by the end of 2026 due to what they call unstoppable global demand and increasing institutional investment.
Their predictions come as the Trump family’s crypto dealings are under scrutiny, raising questions about ethics, influence and political accountability.
Bitcoin to the Moon? The Trump Bitcoin Forecast
Trump Jr. told the Las Vegas crowd he expects to “trade between $150K and $175K” for Bitcoin by late 2026. Eric Trump added that Bitcoin could “go to the moon.” His bullishness is backed by growing institutional adoption.
“Every day people are putting in billions. Even 0.1 BTC will be a fortune,” Eric said.
Right now Bitcoin is at $108,491, just off the all-time high of $111,000 from May 22. Despite the small dips, the Trump brothers are not backing down.
The Saylor Connection: Mar-a-Lago and Big Bitcoin Bets
At the heart of their crypto conviction is Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, a vocal Bitcoin advocate. Eric Trump told the audience that Saylor once advised them to mortgage Mar-a-Lago and invest $2 billion into Bitcoin, saying “do what I’m doing.” This was half joking but it made them more committed to digital assets.
Inspired by Saylor’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy, Trump Media & Technology Group, operator of Truth Social, reportedly plans to raise $2.5 billion to build a big Bitcoin treasury.
Crypto Ventures: From World Liberty Financial to American Bitcoin
The Trump family’s foray into crypto isn’t limited to personal investments. Sources believe they own 60% of World Liberty Financial, a startup that just launched its own stablecoin. Their mining company American Bitcoin which operates under Trump-led American Data Centers is planning a public listing via a SPAC later this year.
These are just a few examples of the many ways political and business leaders are playing the crypto game. As Eric Trump said
“Institutions, royal families and private offices globally are now developing Bitcoin treasury strategies. No one wants to sell it. Everyone wants in.”
Backlash Builds: Regulatory Heat and Political Pushback
Not everyone is happy with the Trump Bitcoin price forecast. Democratic lawmakers have introduced the “Stop Trading, Retention and Unfair Market Payoffs in Crypto Act”—the “Stop TRUMP Act”, to limit crypto investments by political families. The bill would prohibit the president, vice president and members of Congress from holding, trading or promoting cryptocurrencies while in office citing corruption and conflicts of interest.
Eric Trump has blasted traditional banks, calling them “debanking” him and the system “corrupt”. His comments add to the already heated debate on the future of digital finance and the role of powerful families in it.
On the other hand, Vice President JD Vance has said Bitcoin is strategic, it will help the US in the economic war with China. He called digital assets a tool to maintain American leadership in the global financial system.
This geopolitical framing gives more weight to the Trump Bitcoin price prediction, though critics argue the lines between public interest and private gain are getting blurry.
Conclusion
Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump’s Bitcoin price prediction fuelled by Michael Saylor, has put the family in the crypto spotlight. Expert’s say their ventures, from World Liberty Financial to American Bitcoin and a planned $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury, is a calculated bet on the digital asset revolution. But as regulatory heat intensifies and political tensions rise, the future of Bitcoin and the Trumps’ role in it is unclear.
